Methodology

Sample:
At the time a household or group quarters person was
selected in the one-in-one-hundred sample (see ICPSR 7756), it was
assigned a subsample number within each of the 38 strata. These
subsample numbers range from 00 to 99. A sample of one-in-one-thousand
was selected using the units digit of the subsample numbers. Thus, the
one-in-one-thousand sample is a stratified systematic subsample of
the one-in-one-hundred sample.
